CityOfAngels

When I first started playing this game, I was enthralled. Now, only about a week or so later, I tire of it. I tire of it not because of the game itself; but rather the new bouts of lag I've been forced to succumb to. Once I got my video card issue fixed, the game ran smooth as a baby's bottom. But now for some reason, I can only hope to not get serious lag late at night or early in the morning.

That means if I want to participate in the battlegrounds, I get hour-long queue times. That means that when I throw my auction items up for sale, it's during a time when there aren't as many people playing. That means that the people I used to team up with to complete missions are asleep, and unless I find others, I find myself grinding for experience so I can level up high enough to complete all my quests solo.

Yeah, I'm complaining. Yeah I know it's annoying and that people with computers that cost them multi-thousands of dollars don't expect any lag except database lag. But the fact remains that my computer handled the game perfectly long enough for me to get hooked to this game and fall in love with its immersion. Now the lag only pisses me off every time I play, as I can't walk two steps in Ironforge without being sent into an involuntary 180; as I attack a defias trapper, only for the game to freeze and finally refresh when the entire gang of defias is in the process of jumping me, leaving me with only enough HP to run for a few seconds as they hack my toon to death.

But this saddens me, because I truly do love this game. Many of you know I went through semi-great lengths just to get it to work properly on my computer. But now I find myself wanting to log on, but not, because I know it will only piss me off when I go to talk to an NPC and then it disconnects me.

Blizzard...what have you done to me?
